Chapter 17: Snake’s Demise

“How?” Orochimaru asked him. “How?” The Snake Sannin’s face now covered with his own blood. Orochimaru dropped his sword from his mouth, his eyes still looking at Sasuke in amazement. A slight smirk appeared on the Uchiha’s lips.
“You’re the one that taught me all this and you ask me how I do it?” Sasuke asked, the infamous Uchiha smirk still on him. Orochimaru gazed back at the cold metal sword that had plunged in his stomach. His purple pale hands grabbed on the sword trying to pull it out, without luck. Sasuke stared at him oddly. “It’s no use…just die already….you have nothing in this world” Sasuke tried driving the snake mad. A trickle of blood fell from his snake like mouth. His vision became blurry. Kabuto was observing the whole scene. He ran over to the sannin, pushing the Uchiha out of the way before proceeding any further. Sasuke moved away, took his katana out and left the Snake Sannin falling to his doom. Orochimaru landed on a pool of his own blood. Sasuke had stood there, his katana in hand and eyeing everyone present.
“Orochimaru?” Kabuto tried to retrieve an answer from the Sannin. “Orochimaru-sama” All he could hear was deep and heavy breathing coming from the defeated snake.
“Curse you Sasuke” Orochimaru told the Uchiha with his final breath. Sasuke stared at him…dangerously.
“Where’s Sakura?” Was the first words that came out of the young survivor of the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru closed his dark yellow venomous eyes and continued to at least speak and give details to the eager Uchiha.

Itachi walked back to his room, thoughts running through his mind as he tried to find a solution to them. Kisame was walking to his own room. Entering his darken room, he sat down and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to get the frustration out. “Anytime now…Sasuke will come for me….Anytime now, Any day now, any second now”  He was keen to test on how strong his brother had become. All these years he had waited for the moment, he had waited all his life for this showdown.

Orochimaru couldn’t speak properly, his mouth was overflowing his own blood. “Sakura….was….taken….by…..Itachi…..last night” Orochimaru spoke between each cough. Sasuke could pick up the details that had came to him.
“Itachi?” He echoed. A nod came from Kabuto who had agreed.
“Orochimaru I should take you inside” Kabuto tried telling the Snake. Orochimaru shook his head in disagreement. He stared at the sky, all the blood still stained on the side of face, appearing and staining his chin.
“I think there’s no need to…just leave me here….Sasuke even said it…..i have nothing to live for now…”
“That’s not true” kabuto tried to back up his argument. A small nod came from the Sannin.
“My own experiments turned on me…..i have nothing to live for…It’s better if I just die….”
“What about your dreams and ambitions?” Kabuto asked again hoping to get a different outcome from the snake sannin.
“My dreams have ran away from me….My dreams have turned their back on me” Kabuto knew who he was referring to. Looking at the young Uchiha now. Sasuke was to busy to even care about the death of the Sannin. Sasuke was disgusted with the sight of blood that had appeared on the blade. Checking the chain again he eyed the pendant again. Trying to pick up what the cherry hearted pendant was telling him.
The clouds began to roll in, Sasuke gazed up at the grey sky that hanged over him. Taking one last look at the necklace. He now left it hanging around his neck, as he eyed at the almost dead sannin.
Orochimaru gave a small nod and looked back at the sky that had caused a downpour washing his blood around him.  He closed his eyes and rested peacefully. No answer, no breathing, no heartbeat. The snake was dead.

Sasuke left with silence as he walked the opposite direction. Kabuto continued to stare at the deceased snake. Giving a smile. His clothes were now stained with the Snake sannin’s blood.
